 Go into Web and type about:config
 into the box, and you get a warning
 saying "This gun is loaded".  This
 may or may not be understood in the
 cultures where the laptop will be
 deployed; it is possible that the
 wording may offend some people
 (talking about loaded guns on a
 machine that's to be given to young
 children - OK it's only a
 reference but some may not like
 it).  I wonder if it's possible to
 patch Gecko to give a different
 warning message, or perhaps disable
 the warning message (go to
 about:config and set
 general.warnOnAboutConfig to 0);
 after all if someone knows to type
 about:config and knows how to
 change the values then it's a fair
 assumption that they know they're
 reconfiguring the browser, and
 there's nothing there that's
 anywhere near as bad as a gun.
